To unlock the Argent Skull, you will need the following resources:

Bronze
Glassrock x2

It is worth noting that you can only mine Bronze on the Surface, and you can find a decent supply around the City of Ephyra. This is one of the many crafting materials you need that go beyond unlocking weaponry. You can use this material to craft more Nocturnal Arms and learn new Incantations and Aspects.

As for the Glassrock, you will need the Crescent Pick and reach the Mourning Fields. Once you are there, start smashing as much as you can. It is worth noting that not all areas in the Mourning Fields are rich with this resource, and there is a chance that you may get nothing at all. You will need at least two pure samples to craft the weapon.

Once you have the necessary resources, return to the weapons room and build the Argent Skull. Now that you have the weapon, you will need to know the basics about this item.

Using the Argent Skull

While normal weapons would use bullets and rockets as projectiles, the Argent Skull makes use of skulls. This is not a rapid-fire weapon and requires great accuracy and precision. We recommend only to use this weapon once enemies are clustered together. You will need to move around the arena to pick up more skulls.

The Argent Skull can deal high damage, and it can cater to any playstyle in Hades 2. If you have the necessary resources, you might as well build this weapon and use it to your advantage.
